Our Thanksgiving celebration started out Wednesday night with a fabulous dinner at Doug's sister Jenna's house. We had such a great time with family and enjoyed some wonderful food! It was so fun to get a surprise visit from his sister Leda. She's currently at school in North Carolina and we weren't expecting to see her there that night. It was such a fun surprise and so nice to visit with her again! We can't wait to see her again in a few weeks for Christmas! 
Yesterday we got up and headed over to American Fork for the annual Turkey Bowl with the Quinteros and Co. It was a lot of fun. Especially because Doug managed to not get hurt! Sophia had a great time on the swings and toys while Daddy played. The whole time when she was swinging she kept saying, "This is a fun park!" and "Just mommy and Sophia swinging" over and over again. I love hearing her little voice repeat phrases like that over and over.
This is probably my favorite picture I've ever taken of Sophia. Have you ever seen a happier kid swinging!?
After that we headed up to Sandy to my brother Jason's for another fabulous meal! Doug and I both commented that it was probably the most relaxing Thanksgiving day we've ever had! Doug spent a majority of the time in front of the big screen watching Green Bay and enjoyed every second of it. He also got in a little Guitar Hero with Thomas. Sophia mainly played and enjoyed her time with cousins. She also had fun playing with their dwarf hamster (silly "monster!"). Overall it was a tremendous holiday for us!

Doug left this morning bright and early to hit a few sales and Sophia and I are going to try and get a little bit of Christmas up. I just talked to Doug (it's now 8 am) and he said he just got out of his first store. It took him 1/2 hour to get into the store and 1 1/2 hours at the checkout. I love my husband and the sacrifices he makes for me! he's the best! Later we're heading up to Midway and are looking forward to that! Hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday as well!

WOW looks like you guys had a great Thanksgiving (times two!) What fun- That turkey looked awesome! And I LOVE that picture of Sophie too- so cute! Glad Doug didn't get hurt as well. Have a fun Anniversary!
There is absolutely no way on this earth that Bryce would have gone shopping early this morning (believe me I tried)...way to go Doug!
You got to eat at the nice table- Lucky! That picture of Sophs needs to be blown up to life size and hung on my wall- too cute! Where did you get her jacket?
I didn't realize the kitchen was J & Lu's in the video. That is so pretty.
